(Tim) Emus Massive Hunt! New game from Hewco (Pumpkid & Cheesy Trials) co designed and published by Rob Hull from TFW8B for the VIC20 with 35k.  Help the Emu traverse the Pink Windmill. But watch out its been taken over by all kinds of monsters! In this platformer you have to collect items, along with special strategic items to help you escape, like a snorkel to help you walk underwater. Also, you need to collect three coulored keys along the way. Grab a copy from TFW8B for only £4.99 and help Emu escape the Pink Windmill (Cody, YouTube video in link below at the bottom of the page)
